Pope Julius (card game)
text:
Pope Julius, or Pope July, is a gambling card game of the 16th century for four or more players. Players included King Henry VIII and it appears to have been one of his and Anne Boleyn's favourite pastimes. Very little is known about the game, and its existence is known to be attested only by three written sources, those being: c. 1521 - John Skelton, Speke, parrot

1532 - anon, Privy Purse Expences of King Henry VIII
